The most effective action you can take to keep people and bears safe – and to avoid unwanted fines – is to manage wildlife
attractants properly. Leaving waste carts unlocked on non-collection days and setting carts out for collection too early are bylaw
violations. If you don’t manage your garbage and other wildlife attractants properly, you could be fined up to $1,000 by the City.
